00:00 The Maritime Industry Authority and Philippine Coast Guard will help ensure the safety of the coast this Christmas.

00:08 The Coast Guard will also ensure that the sea vehicles that will travel this Holy Week are following the required requirements.

00:14 Ron Laguzad has the details.

00:16 The number of passengers is expected to increase in the coast this Holy Week.

00:23 That is why the people of the Maritime Industry Authority are prepared to go.

00:28 The Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Ports Authority are in Manasanta.

00:33 In the part of the marina, we are deploying marina personnel to the port to ensure and help in the implementation of the rules and regulations.

00:44 And if there are problems that the passengers encounter, we have a so-called "Malasakit Desk"

00:52 that our passengers can approach and ask for help.

00:57 Meanwhile, the marina also wants to strengthen its coordination with the Philippine Coast Guard.

01:01 This is to further strengthen the implementation of the regulations.

01:05 We will have a dialogue and we will continue to talk with the Coast Guard and the marina,

01:13 not only here in the headquarters and central office, but also in our regional offices and our counterpart Coast Guard.

01:22 It is important that the required requirements are followed by the marina vehicles.

01:27 We are the ones who inspect the ships.

01:30 This is usually done annually.

01:33 So, we inspect everything from the hull, machinery, equipment, communication, alarms, and all.

01:47 The marina also knows that each crew has a "Kaukulang Papel"

01:52 which means that the crew has passed the required training.

01:55 On Friday, the Philippine Coast Guard was alerted that 60% of their personnel are deployed in the seaport.
